Parad is0: a dance – fiction , thinking, ethical – aesthetic project.

“Following the creation of a training to be followed by interpreters of the work Parad is0 , this process of creation and the training itself, in its different stages are open to other interested people. It is a training on the physical, mental and spiritual and that it begins with a deep observation of our inner organs and its relationship to thought and language , in the construction of the different exercises with which will experience. Open to all persons interested in starting this research and develop in related fields, as the creative , therapeutic, educational, scientific , personal. Parad is0 project reflects about how it would be the development of thought in relation to evolutionary events and how they adapt to the experience of fragmentation (dystopian perception ) not only considering  an internal way , but as a continuity with the external, considering that we could have extension of our brains through different devices : choreography , body , screens and graphics, software, lighting , thought, physical – sound , photo-sensitive…”

“El argumento de Parad is0 plantea nuevas combinatorias de su estructura a la manera de Peret, tomando un nuevo giro . “Abrir las ventanas de la danza ficción al aire puro de la ciencia y la combinatoria existencial, pensamiento, matemática, Atlas de coreografía potencial”.*

*Cita adaptada de Oulipo ( Ouvroir de littérature potientielle).

En la presentación que tendrá lugar en la residencia de Granada en The Unifiedfield / el campo unificado se mantendrán conversaciones previas sobre el argumento antes de escribirlo y se proyectará una sesión del entrenamiento creada durante esta residencia.

El hilo de la conversación sobre el argumento se desarrollará siguiendo el arte de la combinatoria en los que se realizará una simple enumeración de cosas o de suposiciones, una serie de datos precisos acerca de determinado sucesos que en principio no parecen configurar la estructura ideal para el trabajo de un coreógrafo. El examen de obras literarias antiguas como “Paraíso”de la Divina Comedia de Dante, concretamente el Canto I , los diferentes significados de la palabra “Aparato” y de sus sinónimos, desde los sistemas de órganos ( vísceras, ) los sistemas políticos y de pensamiento, con el objetivo de encontrar rastros del uso de estructuras, formas o restricciones , ahora renovados en su espectro performatico por el estudio de las coincidencias con la obra de Georges Perec. La sesión del entrenamiento dedicada a Peret se titula “Cierra bien los ojos, cognocete”, en sustitución del epígrafe del libro “La Vie mode d’emploi, “Abre bien los ojos, mira”.
